Unfortunately, many people do. Equally unfortunately this is why the widespread teaching of alternative methods of analyzing information and making decisions are not supported, at least by U.S. corporations. It is much easier to manipulate people's emotions than to make a logical case for the merits of one's product or service, not to mention making a product or providing a service that is worth buying on its own merits.
Yes, you are right. Powerful USA corporations employed America's most influential propagandist, Edward L. Bernays, to teach them how to emotionally manipulate the American masses.
Edward L. Bernays wrote his famous book called, Propaganda, in 1928. But what is interesting is that no American school children are taught about one of the most influential Americans of the 20th century.
